TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Australia haven't been at their absolute best with the bat heading into this fixture. Openers Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head have been out of form, struggling to get going against Kagiso Rabada. Marsh has gotten off to starts, scoring 22 and 13 runs in the last two games, but failed to convert them into a big score.
Meanwhile, the ever-impactful Travis Head has had a quiet series, failing to reach double figures in either match. Tim David has fought a lone battle in both matches against the Proteas, scoring 50 runs in the second T20I and 83 runs in the first. He has also been struggling with cramps, but with the amount of time between the second and third T20I, he should be fine for this match.
In the bowling department, it has been the Glenn Maxwell show. Although Dewald Brevis took him to the cleaners in the last match, Maxi has taken three wickets. Josh Hazlewood had an off day in the last match, conceding 56 runs, his most expensive spell in his T20I career. Ben Dwarshius has been good, taking five wickets in two matches while also being economical, going at under 8 runs per over.
AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
Travis Head has had a tough time this series, where he has failed to cross ten runs in both matches played. The Proteas bowlers have troubled him by not providing width and tucking him up. Given his current form, it's hard to bet on Travis Head to have a good outing, and our prediction is for Head to have another tough outing with his total score being under 25 runs.
Tim David has been in some form this series, where he is the only Aussie batter to score back-to-back half-centuries. He scored 83 runs in the first T20I and backed it up with another 50 in the second T20I. He is one batter that the Australians will be hoping will come good in this fixture, and given his current run of form, David is a good bet, and we back him to score over 22 runs in today's fixture.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Mitchell Marsh (capt), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood/Matt Kuhnemann

South Africa Preview
The Proteas bounced back from a crushing 17-run defeat in the first T20I with a dominant 53-run victory in the last match. This was thanks to Dewald Brevis's fireworks with the bat, as he ripped apart the Australian bowlers for fun, especially taking on Glenn Maxwell, Josh Hazlewood, and Adam Zampa.
Brevis scored an unbeaten 125 runs off 56 balls, becoming the second-fastest South African to score a century against the Australians and the youngest to do so. He also holds the record for the highest individual score by a South African in T20Is. Tristan Stubbs has played a supporting role in both the first and second T20Is, scoring 31 and 37 runs. Their top order, similar to Australia's, has failed in both matches.
The real difference-maker with the ball in this series has been Kwena Maphaka, who has picked up seven wickets in two matches. He has been on point with the ball in both the powerplay and death overs. Kagiso Rabada has been a nightmare for the Australian top order with the new ball this series and is expected to play a huge role in the series decider in Cairns.
SA Over/Under Betting Tips
Dewald Brevis scored 125 runs in the 2nd T20I, powering the Proteas to a 53-run victory. He absolutely smashed the Australian bowlers to all corners of the ground with absolute disdain. He is in really good form heading into the series decider, and we back him to come out all guns blazing and score over 21 runs.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Aiden Markram (capt), Ryan Rickelton (wk), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen, Corbin Bosch/George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Nqabayomzi Peter/Senuran Muthusamy, Kwena Maphaka, Lungi Ngidi/Nandre Burger

AUS vs RSA
Winning Prediction
Despite their mishap with both bat and ball in the second T20I, where their nine-match unbeaten run came to an end, Australia are still the favorites to win this fixture. However, the Proteas have all their bases covered now, and their bowlers have been far better than the Australian bowlers in the series so far. We are backing South Africa to pull off a win and clinch the T20I series 2-1.
